matthewhex's Blackest Night: Batman #1 - Who Burns Who, Part 1 review

    Too much Deadman.


    Ummm… I was a bit disappointed with this. It was okay but I think after two great chapters in the main Blackest Night series I was expecting more of the same big action and dark horror, but this didn’t really have it. It mainly sets that up for next issue, and there was too much focus on Deadman for me, and him jumping from body to body. He could easily been given a co-title. Not sure if Tomasi’s writing of Dick and Damian was right for me either, I know the action will be coming next issue, so I look forward to that.

Tomasi's Batman and Robin is on par with Grant Morrison's. But while Morrison showed how Nightwing didn't have any respect or suppo...

      While the main story arc of the Blackest Night is struggling a bit to find its footing, this tie-in miniseries puts a human face on the universe wide crisis which is occurring.  Instead of dealing with faraway planets and alien species, this issue focuses on what is DC's most realistic group of heroes, the Bat family.  Unlike usual their detecting skills are mostly absent, or at least not working fast enough to deal with the severity of what is occurring.  Instead it is only through the interfer...
